Drag-and-drop attachments in Thunderbird
2006-12-21

Oh, it always annoyed me, that you can’t simply drag-and-drop attachments into the message part of the window in Mozilla Thunderbird as you can in Outlook. Especially if it’s a couple more files, it is pretty tiring to always click “add” and select each one.

Now, completely by accident, I found out, that you actually can add files by drag-and-drop, even multiple ones!

In Thunderbird, you have to drop it either onto the attachment button, the subject field, or the receiver field. That is months after my first use and I don’t consider myself a computer noob. Now, let’s talk about usability again. ;)
